Hi Kelly,

We received your letter your letter & help in the mail.  I sent and paid our phone bill.  Thank you for paying the sewer bill.  Paul & I cried when we opened your letter.  It’s been an exhausting journey, but we are hopeful things will turn out well and Paul will be completely healed! You have become part of Paul’s journey in helping him thru this.  Our hearts are so grateful for this blessing you have given us, and we plan to share his story and financial help to others in the future.  We are all in this together! No matter what kind of cancer…we are there for each other! Paul’s mother passed away from melanoma and this gift has been healing to his heart.  Thank you for sharing your story and recognizing melanoma! Paul would like to thank you himself by sending a picture.  You are welcome to share his story in any way that can help others!

In the past year, GBMC oncology patients have been directly assisted by the generosity of the Kelly's Dream team. They have provided Thanksgiving dinners and sponsored Christmas for several patients. This spring, the team shared home-grown flowers, flower seeds and calendars to patients in our infusion center. The room was filled with thankful smiling faces! Patients are so thankful for the kindness of Kelly's Dream.

One cervical cancer patient, a self-employed hair stylist with 3 children, received chemotherapy and radiation. It was difficult for her to work as much as normal and she got behind on her bills. Our office was able to assist her with grants for several bills, but she needed help with her car note. Kelly's Dream was able to help her get caught up with her car note.

A lung cancer patient was rapidly losing weight. Her doctor recommended she supplement with nutritional drinks like Boost and Ensure. She was able to buy groceries to feed her family but the additional cost of the Boost and Ensure was more than she could manage. Kelly's Dream was able to purchase several cases for her. 

A young father sustained a serious injury to his elbow at work. It was determined that he would need surgery, however during the pre-surgical testing, doctors discovered he has a very rare form of Leukemia. He would not be eligible for the surgery until the Leukemia was brought under control. Unable to work, he and his family were facing eviction from their apartment. Kelly's Dream was able assist with his rent.
